"But in the end, we also know that it's not enough to simply change the way our children eat  we have to change our own habits and behaviors as well. And this is final point I want to make today. We as parents are our children's first and best role models and this is particularly true when it comes to their health. . .

Now THAT is an awesome pic! You know, I already have my own mother and father. I don’t need Papa Barack and Missy Moochelle telling me how to live. Unfortunately, some Americans apparently want to be ruled. How else can one explain the sick people who elected Nanny Bloomberg?

You’re right... they don’t match. That being said, I don’t care what she wears.

Is childhood obesity a problem? Yup. Will mushy vegetables forced on school children help? Nope. Will lectures about healthy lifestyles from a FLOTUS who jets all over the world eating lobster and caviar help? Nope.

The elephant in the room is radical feminism has made kids fat. We have 20 ( maybe more) television channels dedicated to cooking yet many women in the USA can barely boil water ( on a stove not in a microwave) The feminist movement tells women that cooking is slave labor and has little to no value and to get out of the kitchen to be self fulfilled. Women not cooking = kids eating prepackaged food loaded with salt and fat. Get traditional roles and family values back into American towns and cities and many problems will get better not just the “obesity epidemic.”

How many tens or hundreds of millions of dollars of OUR MONEY were wasted just in order to give this resentful, idiotic, pampered, imperious interloper the forum for spouting the most obvious cliches WE’VE ALREADY BEEN HEARING
FOR DECADES????!!!!

Is this- If parents refuse to get on board with my husband’s mandates and edicts, then they wikll be arreswted for ‘potential endangerment to the children’ that are in their care (temporarily)-... and beleive me, we WILL be askign hte kids whiel they are at school if they are eatign healthy at home, and we ARE watching you parents... We WILL fundamentally change the way this country operates irregardless of whether anyoen objects or not”
